Bug: Smite or Static Strike + Shockwave = unable to use power

I changed from a Mace - with no stat bonuses to an axe. Both weapons should work.

The shield I have smite or shock socketed in has +1 to melee gems.

I know I am borderline on Dex some gems cant level up. I suspect the +1 is putting shockwave into a dex below needed situation.

I question if that is 'Working as intended' especially since the only in game message is [Skill can't be used].

Shockwave shows both skills as usable and can be socketed.

Changing to the old weapon resolves.

Nope not a dex thing - just added 30 dex and no change.

The skills can be supported by Shockwave regardless of what weapon you're using.

However, a skill supported by Shockwave cannot be used with axes.
This is stated on the gem itself: "Supported Skills can only be used with Maces, Sceptres, or Staves"

Hmmmmm

Missed that. But why would it let me slot it - no matter.

Thanks
